July 6, 1917, 9 a.m.

Ren Yijiang closed the pocket watch in his hand, he had already changed into a short silk gown, a black silk belt was tied around his waist, and he was wearing a brown top hat on his head, which was pressed low, and his face was also covered with makeup, as if he was a hooligan leader in the rivers and lakes. This time it's an assassination of the Overseers! Whether you succeed or not, you can't let others recognize you, right? What he's doing right now is a spy who can't see the light of day! Thinking of this, he glanced at Zhao Xiang'er who was sitting by the window in this teahouse out of the corner of his eye.

This woman is not dressed in disguise, although she is the chief director of the entire assassination plot, but she doesn't need to charge, today she brought a few maids (female killers in training) like huā like jade, here while drinking tea while watching a good show.

Ren Yijiang's eyes touched Zhao Xiang'er in the air, and immediately took it back, took a deep breath, and beckoned to a few gangsters dressed as gangsters around him, and a gangster came over immediately. Ren Yijiang commanded in a low voice: "It's almost time, let the girl surnamed Gao prepare, tell her, if anything happens, our parents and younger brother will take good care of her!" ”

The thug nodded silently, and ran downstairs like a gust of wind. The girl surnamed Gao is named Gao Erya, and she is one of the female killers trained by Zhao Xianger! The people are also extremely beautiful. Today's task is to "stop the car and shout grievances" in filial piety clothes, dressed as a little husband who has just died

Widow... Although it is not a direct killing, the risk is not small, after all, as soon as Li Houji's car stops, it is a scene of bombs flying and bullets raining down! Who knows if it will be a hornet's nest for random guns? So Ren Yijiang had to take special care of it, those words were not only to relieve people's worries, but also a warning! Most of the parents and families of these female killers are under the "care" of the Renaissance Society!

At this moment, on the road downstairs of the teahouse, the guards of Li Hou's Christian Department were already setting up a cordon. It is to hold a rifle, stand on both sides of the road with five steps, one post, ten steps and one sentry.

Blocking the crowd watching the excitement from twenty to twenty-five steps away from Li Houji's motorcade. In addition, the car that Li Houji was riding in would also be surrounded by a team of horses, and if anyone dared to assassinate, it would be these "meat shields" who would be the first to be shot, and it would be fine for the Grand Overseer Li to be shot.

On both sides of the road, some people have gathered to watch the excitement or passers-by, or wait impatiently, or stretch their necks to look around. The gunmen mobilized by Jiang Jshi and Ren Yijiang have also been scattered in the crowd, and these people have already received a full bounty, and one of their lives can be regarded as being sold! Many people were terrified when they learned that it was the Overseer, but they were relieved to hear that they could run away after firing five bullets.

At about 9:20 a.m., the sound of horses' hooves was heard from the west side of the road, followed by dozens of Overseer guards on horseback. The soldiers on both sides of the road also suddenly perked up, constantly shouting and scaring the onlookers with rifles.

Immediately afterwards, I saw three identical black cars, escorted by two columns of cavalry. Li Houji sat on one of them, but from a distance, he could faintly see the shadow of a soldier wearing a large-brimmed hat and a woman...... No one knows which car the real Lee Hou-gi is in!

Jiang Jshi was standing on the upper floor of the Dingguang Pagoda and looked at the qiē below, and when he saw three identical cars, he sneered in his heart. It turns out that the most dangerous enemy is the enemy lurking around you! I'm afraid this Li Houji would never have dreamed that he would die at the hands of his most beloved woman, right?

At this time, there was a sudden disturbance on the side of the road below, and a woman wearing a filial piety dress did not know how, but she actually broke through the barrier of the guards, ran to the middle of the road, and knelt on the ground with a puff, holding a white banner in her hand, on which I don't know what kind of blood was written with a big word "injustice"! It looks like he's going to sue.

"Wronged! The little woman's husband died so unjustly......" Immediately after, a cry of injustice sounded to the extreme.

The onlookers on both sides of the road also seemed to have gained momentum, and they all stretched their necks to see Li Qingtian solve the case. In fact, the hearts of the Chinese people are somewhat of a Mingjun and Qing official complex, and they always look forward to some good emperor and bureaucrat to bring fairness and justice to themselves. And most of the feudal bureaucrats in China are also willing to play the role of "so-and-so blue sky" in front of the common people, and when they encounter the surname of the boss who petitions and complains, they always have to disguise it. Especially this one who shouts grievances, she is still a beautiful girl like huā and jade! Who doesn't know that Grand Overseer Li likes Mei Jiao Niang the most?

Li Houji's convoy naturally stopped, and an officer who looked like the captain of the guard got off his horse, strode up to the little beauty, and tried to show a kind smile Such a little beauty is really so cute, if you can be more interesting, maybe it will be the seventeenth lady of Li Overseer.

Just as the captain of the guard was about to say something comforting, he heard a gunshot!

It was as if someone had been punched in the chest, followed by a sharp pain, and then... I don't know anything!

"Assassin! There are assassins! Protect the Overseers! I don't know who reacted first, and as soon as I shouted, the guards on both sides of the road, as well as the cavalry guarding the sedan, all raised their rifles, and were just about to find the target to fire, when they heard the gunfire suddenly like fried beans! Several guards were knocked down at once, and even the three sedans they were protecting with all their might were shot a few times.

The current order was suddenly chaotic, and there were passers-by fleeing for their lives everywhere, bullets chirping and flying, and from time to time people were knocked to the ground. Screams were heard one after another, and I don't know if the injured or frightened people were screaming. Li Houji's guards were also well-trained, but they had already reacted to the chaos for a moment, and they gathered around Li Houji's convoy one after another, forming a human wall, and at the same time desperately used the rifles and pistols in their hands to fire at the gunmen in the crowd, and quickly suppressed the other party.

But at this moment, the voice of a woman crying suddenly came from behind them.

"Help! Help! Master, master was hit, master is going to die, master, you are gone, what should I do?"

Among the five mixed brigade commanders in Fujian Province, Tang Guoqian was probably the first to learn of Li Houji's exact death. Li Houji didn't ask him to go to Mawei to greet Duo Zhenbing together, but asked him to stay in Fuzhou City, so he rubbed mahjong all night last night, and just fell asleep at five or six o'clock. When I was sleeping soundly, I was woken up by a few people. Several of his subordinates, Ma Buyun, Chen Decai, and Wang Xianchen, all looked angry: "Brigade commander! It's a big deal! Our Li Overseer called someone to assassinate him on the way to Mawei! Overseer Li is now dead in anger! ”

Tang Guomo immediately fell off the bed and jumped up naked: "Has the assassin caught it?" Do you know who did it? ”

Ma Buyun, the commander of the 2nd Regiment of the 10th Mixed Brigade, was on duty at the brigade headquarters at the time of the incident, and he received more information, he said: "There are many assassins, most of them have escaped, only a few have been caught, and they have been hastily interrogated, and they only know that they are gang figures from Fujian and Shanghai, and they were hired by the Revolutionary Party to assassinate them!" There are two of their leaders, one is named Jiang Zhiqing, and the other is Song Yuanyuan! "What? Jiang Zhiqing? Song Yuanyuan? Tang Guoyu spat out a few swear words in his mouth, turned around on the ground a few times, and suddenly ordered: "Go and contact Yao Jianping quickly, and ask his troops to immediately put martial law and prepare for war!" Buyun, you hurry up and mobilize troops to control the manufacturing bureau outside Fuzhou City, and you must also immediately control it, by the way, there is also the supervision office to send troops there! Hearing the last order, several people were stunned and asked, "Do you really want to send troops to supervise the office?" ”

Tang Guoqian slapped the table and shouted, "Of course we have to send troops!" Li Dujun is no longer there, Fujian can't be left without an owner for a day! This could not have been made clearer, and several of the soldiers were ordered to leave. At this time, a middle-aged man in a long robe hurriedly walked in, it was Wang Shuping, a strategist beside Tang Guoyu.

"Mr. Wang, you're just in time." Tang Guoqian beckoned to the man, and sighed again: "Once Inspector Li dies to me, I don't know what to do!" Isn't this Fujian going to change? Wang Shuping's complexion was also solemn: "Brigade commander, what you did just now was very good!" Fuzhou City, as well as the 10th Mixed Brigade and the 1st Fujian Mixed Brigade must be firmly controlled, that is the foundation of your struggle for the Fujian Overseer! ”

"Overseers?" A flash of joy flashed on Tang Guoqian's face: "Can I?" ”

"What's not to do?" Wang Shuping chuckled: "With Fuzhou City, there is also the manufacturing bureau outside the city and the soldiers of the two mixed brigades. This Fujian overseer, the brigade commander is fifty percent sure! He smiled slightly, reached out and touched his goatee: "If you can win over the Navy Sa Dinggong and Chang Ruiqing in northwest Fujian, then you will have another three percent certainty." ”

"Chang Ruiqing?" Tang Guomo frowned and was silent for a while: "How much sweetness should I give this kid?" ”

Wang Shuping thought for a while, and just as he wanted to speak, he saw the housekeeper in Tang Guomo's mansion hurriedly walking in with a greeting post: "Brigade commander, Mr. Wang, there is a Mr. Jiang who claims to be a classmate of the brigade elder asking to see him. ”

Tang Guomo was shocked, so he snatched the post, opened it and looked at it, and his face became cloudy. Wang Shuping saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly ordered the housekeeper to go down first, and then took the post from Tang Guomou's hand and looked at it, sneered, and said to Tang Guoqian: "Congratulations to the handsome!" "Marshal?" Tang Guoqian looked at Wang Shuping with fear that "Dashuai" was a title that could only be used by the first-level warlords of the army overseers and patrol envoys, and he was just a brigade commander, so why should he be called a handsome?

Wang Shuping smiled and pointed to the three big characters "Jiang Zhiqing" on the worship post: "This Jiang Zhiqing must be the instigator of the assassination of Li Dujun, right?" He and the brigade commander you are ............"

"Old classmate, it's a classmate of Baoding, how many years ago."

Wang Shuping smiled: "Then how is the brigade commander going to treat this old classmate?" ”

Tang Guomo gritted his teeth and spit out two words: "Shoot!" ”

Wang Shuping shook his head: "I don't believe that the brigade commander will do that!" ”

Tang Guomo asked rhetorically: "What else can you do if you don't kill it?" Do you want to be a guest? "Why not?" Wang Shuping leaned into Tang Guomo's ear and said in a low voice: "Brigade commander, the key issue now is to become an overseer!" As for the means, it doesn't matter............ Brigade commander, as the saying goes, a thief bites three points into the bone! If we have evidence to prove that Zang Zhiping secretly communicated with the Revolutionary Party, then ..............."

Sa Zhenbing was in the naval academy in Mawei at this time, holding a cup of coffee and chatting and laughing with several naval colonels and local gentry in Fuzhou. Yang Lizhong also sat beside him with a smile.

The navy of the Republic of China is the world of the Fujian people, and most of the leading figures in Fuzhou have something to do with the navy.

Just when I was describing the beautiful vision of "Fujian people governing Fujian" in the future, a naval lieutenant ran in, and before he could stand firmly, he shouted loudly: "It's not good!" Oh no! Li Dashuai was assassinated, Li Dashuai is dead! Martial law is already under fire in the city of Fuzhou! Sa Zhenbing was shocked when he heard this, and half a cup of *coffee in his hand fell to the ground, and with a bang, the porcelain pieces shattered to the ground! The Fuzhou gentry in the second seat made a burst of gasping sounds. Although Li Houji's personality is not very good, but after all, he is also a figure who maintains peace on the ground in Fujian, and now he has asked people to kill him, I am afraid that this Fujian Province will be in chaos!

"Did the assassins catch it? Know who did it? Yang Lizhong asked angrily.

"I don't know the specific situation, the news of Li Dashuai's assassination was notified by the headquarters of the 10th Mixed Brigade of the Army...... The army has put the whole city under martial law, and is arresting the assassins, so that Ding Gong will not enter the city for the time being. Brigade Commander Tang of the 10th Mixed Brigade will personally visit Mawei later. ”

At this time, Sa Zhenbing had recovered from the initial shock, and his face also showed a complicated look. He stood up and hurriedly nodded to a few of the gentry of Fuzhou, and then left the meeting room, and Yang Lizhong followed out.

"Ding Gong, this is a rare opportunity for us!" Yang Lizhong took three steps and made two steps, ran to Sa Zhenbing's side and reminded in a low voice.

Sa Zhenbing sighed softly: "But how many soldiers from the five companies have made in the market?" ”

Yang Lizhong said: "Our navy is the head snake of Fujian, whether it is Zang Zhiping or Tang Guoyu, they are just outsiders, they want to sit firmly in the position of Fujian overseer, they must have our support!" Sa Zhenbing said lightly: "What about the price?" What do we want? ”

Yang Lizhong smiled: "Turf! We want turf! As long as we have territory, our Marine Battalion can become a Marine Brigade and Marine Division! ”

Sa Zhenbing suddenly stopped, looked back at Yang Lizhong, who looked eagerly, and sighed: "Tozhong, you have to remember that we are the navy after all, and the ocean is our real ......" He smiled bitterly again, stretched out his hand and patted Yang Lizhong's shoulder: "But in this situation, you can only go ashore first............... okay, you go and send someone to contact Tang Guomo, Zang Zhiping, and Chang Ruiqing, ask them about their increase, whoever gives more territory, we will support whom!" "Chang Rui is responsible for contacting too? Yang Lizhong was stunned for a moment, and said: "His qualifications are not enough to be an overseer or governor!" ”

Sa Zhenbing sneered and pointed at himself: "Then do I have enough qualifications to be a Fujian overseer?" Yang Lizhong was stunned when he heard this, and a smile appeared on his face, and he nodded vigorously: "Enough!" Ding Gong's qualifications are enough! Ding Gong, I understand what you mean, I'll personally go to Longyan to meet this Changda brigade commander! ”

At this time, Chang Ruiqing was talking to Wang Qimi, the commander of the 11th Mixed Brigade.

“…… Kai Gong, Li Houji died, and the Fujian dragons were leaderless, and it was a situation where the five brigades were fighting for power. Among the five mixed brigade commanders in Fujian, only you are the oldest one who is a native of Fujian.

At present, the southern provinces are engaged in natives governing their own provinces, and the overseers and governors of Fujian, according to their brothers, always have a seat for Kaigong. Our first mixed brigade is to fully support Kaigong! ”

Chang Ruiqing's flickering came as soon as he opened his mouth.

Wang Qi was silent, nor did he speak, but just listened quietly there. The Overseer, the Governor or anything, he really didn't think about it. He was also a little tired of the intrigue between the people, and he also had a little retreat in his heart. But the problem is, the overseer and the governor have come to the door on their own!

As soon as Li Houji died, the five mixed brigades in Fujian were left without co-owners. Not to mention the struggle for power by the five brigades, at least it is also a situation where the three brigades are fighting for power...... Zang Zhiping and Tang Guomo's thoughts are clear, and they don't need to think about it to know. And the Chang Ruiqing in front of him, although he did not compete for the qualifications of the overseer and governor of Fujian on the surface, he found himself,............... What should I do? Do you really remove the Overseer and the Governor from the throne? Even if he did, his brothers wouldn't agree, would they?

Chang Ruiqing didn't care what he thought, and said to himself: "In Fujian Province, except for Kaigong, Zang Zhiping and Tang Guomo are the two most qualified to compete for the throne of the overseer. But both of them are unwilling to be subordinate to others at the moment, and since Zang Zhiping entered Fujian, he has been suppressed by Li Houji's people. Now that it is hard to wait for Li Houji to die, and then be suppressed by Tang Guomo, I am afraid that he will not be reconciled. And Tang Guoqian has now controlled Fuzhou, and it is unrealistic to ask him to let him out, so it is inevitable that the two of them will meet each other!

Judging from the strength of both of them, they are actually comparable. Although Tang Guomo has a strong army, he and Yao Jianping may not be of the same mind, and most of the local people's troops in Fujian do not like Li Houji's men, and most of them will support Zang Zhiping. Therefore, there is the greatest possibility that the two of them will reach a draw, and then it will be time for our two mixed brigades to mediate. And the result of this mediation is always to let Kai Gong have a place in Fuzhou. (To be continued.)
